Celebrating Ellie in Her Mommy's Belly

It was such a pleasure to meet up with Sharleen and Moni who are eagerly anticipating their sweet baby girl, who will be here in just a few weeks. They were warm and kind and just the type of people who were made to be parents. I love that.

I so remember preparing for our first baby too and wondering and planning, and then being stunned at how amazing it was to have her....like we had always loved her and then here she was.

So here are so of my favorites of the beautiful mommy.

Here is one with a sunflower I picked up at the Farmer's Market. God bless all those sweet pregnant women who have made it through some hot, hot days this summer!

Like I said before, she is expecting a girl.

Sharleen and Moni brought along a few goodies, including these tiny shoes. So fun to think of the little toes that will be in there....

I so love this next one. It reminds me of just how much baby fills up a tummy...no sleeping on your stomach at this stage!

I have to give a shout out to Sharleen's husband Moni who just expected to come along and just be in a picture or two. However, I had him join her in a lot, and he kindly did what I asked. I am so glad. I love how loved she looks here.

I know they can't wait to get their hands on their sweet girl.

And I love this one...the red brick...her mommy profile. Now you would probably think that she is thinking warm, fuzzy, maternal thoughts by the beautiful look on her face. BUT...that wall that the crazy photographer liked was on the men's bathrooms and I quickly realized that it might not have been the best place to ask her to stop. She was too nice to protest.

I think pregnant girls are so beautiful and a baby growing in there is so worth celebrating. Thank you for the opportunity, Sharleen and Moni, and I so look forward to meeting your precious one!
